Dear Dr.Anand Byrappa Thank you for your message. Indeed it's a critical topic to be discussed, deliberated, implemented successfully through a strategic plan of action to improve the present Librarianship and LIS education in India. Libraries are well prepared to handle situation like COVID 19 pandemic situation than any other service sector in the education field through OPAC, Remote Access, Virtual Reference, Digital Library, etc. but very few will acknowledge this type proactive initiative taken by the Library community; we must thank SRELS and Informatics, Prof. Shalini Urs for initiating the discussion on this contemporary issue. I hope this webinar will remain in the LIS community's memory in the long term delivered during the webinars' cyclone. Some actions will be taken by the Library Community to fill the knowledge gap between the demand and supply of LIS workforce in the country by considering the current digital era. With Regards Dr.Manju Naika Chief Library Officer Central Library,IIT Bombay Mumbai-400 076,India Dear All, Happy teachers day. Thanks to SRELS and Informatics for organising the following unique and much needed programme. It was wonderful to watch candid discussions between LIS practioners and teachers on the day of teachers day. It was very well conceived, planned, moderated and conducted by Prof. Shalini Urs, as always. It will be beneficial to the profession If we start similar discussion with LIS associations. In the context of New Education Policy 2020 and unexpected Pandemic situation. Getting together and working for strengthening the LIS profession is essential. We need many more good libraries and good LIS schools in the country to improve the professional image. Teachers, Practioners and associations ought to work together to reposition the LIS profession. It’s very critical to attract better students to the LIS schools. Delays in addressing transformation needs , Not fixing the gaps between teachers and practioners and ignoring low professional image/ perception may eventually Result in further dilution of the profession. If this happens, our generation is responsible for it! Again, Thanks to the organisers for the wonderful event. Thanks and Regards Anand Anand Byrappa Ph.D. Indian Institute of Science Bangalore 560012. India.

Can you Guess the author by looking at punctuation alone?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/can-you-tell-an-author-s-identity-by-loo… This article is of special interest to me as a librarian. People have researched about the presence or inclusion of punctuation marks in titles of papers. For instance, the presence of colon in title reveals a higher order / degree of research content. You have thousands of 'shallow' papers floating around. But the above paper talks of stylometric analysis of entire texts of authors! Interesting. Go to the link to find out the uses of this research including catching criminals. Dr P Vyasamoorthy, SC, 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278
